【答案解析】[解析] 14-17 M: Hi, Helen. What do you think of our class in Children's Literature? W: It looks pretty good. I was surprised to see you there. Are you also majoring in Children's Education? M: No, I'm not. But as a psychology major, I can use this to fulfill a requirement in developmental psychology. W: Have you finished the first assignment yet? M: Not yet. I just bought the books today. How about you? W: I started this afternoon. It's great fun reading wonderful stories by Dr. Seuss. M: Dr. Seuss? I don't remember seeing his name on the reading list. W: His full name is Theodore Seuss Geisell, that's how it's listed in the references. Dr. Seuss is his pen name. M: I loved reading those stories as a child. It'll be interesting to read them from a different point of view. I guess they will give me a good idea of how children think. W: Those stories are also great for classroom use. M: How's that? W: Well, take a typical Dr. Seuss book like The Cat in the Hat. It has a controlled vocabulary of only 200 words. M: So that means the children get lots of practice using a small number of words over and over. W: Exactly. In fact, The Cat in the Hat was written primarily to show how a controlled vocabulary reader could also be interesting and fan. M: Well, it sounds as though this course is also going to be interesting and fun. I think I'll get started on those readings tonight.
